   3 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Shrink the size of ack_frame_id to make room for

   9 To implement airtime queue limiting, we need to keep a running account of
  10 the estimated airtime of all skbs queued into the device. Do to this
  11 correctly, we need to store the airtime estimate into the skb so we can
  12 decrease the outstanding balance when the skb is freed. This means that the
  13 time estimate must be stored somewhere that will survive for the lifetime
  14 of the skb.
  15
  16 To get this, decrease the size of the ack_frame_id field to 6 bits, and
  17 lower the size of the ID space accordingly. This leaves 10 bits for use for
  18 tx_time_est, which is enough to store a maximum of 4096 us, if we shift the
  19 values so they become units of 4us.
